In the office.
Li Mingsheng picked up the cigarette box and added with a frown, "You have to understand one thing. We are not the ones who are actively provoking and infringing on the rights of the garrison again and again. It is they who are constantly using various dirty means to seize the ruling power of the municipal units. They are blocking us! No matter how big the Coders Association is, it should operate under the supervision of government agencies. What does it have to do with the garrison units?!"
Ouyang Zhen looked at the angry Li Mingsheng, and said nothing more. He just bent down and sat on the sofa: "I understand what you mean. But Lao Li, you have been in the system for so many years, you should know that this correct truth cannot be compared with the existing survival rules. What are the rules? The rules are that Tan Hengqiang has 50,000 heavy troops in his hands. If you don't give him face, he will send two regiments into the city every day to inspect the city defense safety... How can you deal with it? Don't you feel uncomfortable looking at them? Can you let our troops stand on the border every day, or let Jin Maohui stay by your side for 24 hours without sleep?"
Lao Li smoked in silence.
"He admitted defeat, but he can't save face! More than a dozen soldiers were shot in the city. If you don't have an attitude, he won't be able to explain it to the people below!" Ouyang Zhen frowned and advised: "To put it bluntly, let's bend down first, do the work first, and then talk about the issue of backbone, okay?"
When Lao Li heard this, he felt ashamed and humiliated. He was the head of Longcheng City's government affairs and was in charge of the affairs that he was supposed to take care of in his own territory, but in the end he had to look at other people's faces. This was undoubtedly a very frustrating thing.
After a long silence, Li Mingsheng replied in a hoarse voice: "The land will not be approved, this is the bottom line. Give me the money, I will pay, but it cannot be handed over to the garrison by the municipal government. It must be handed over to him by you through a middleman."
"Okay!" Ouyang Zhen did not make any more "excessive" requests. He and Li Mingsheng have been friends for many years and have also been in a superior-subordinate relationship with each other for a long time. He knows Li Mingsheng's character very well.
This is a civil servant wearing a three-foot long sword on his waist, sharp and strong.
Lao Li was able to get to where he is today, and in just two or three years, he completely got rid of his situation of being sidelined, which was actually due to this character. If he were replaced by someone who was extremely smooth, he would definitely not have achieved what he has now. But it is also because of this character that Lao Li has also suffered assassination attempts and personal threats several times...
After Ouyang Zhen reached an agreement with Lao Li in the office, he left in a hurry.
Lao Li stood up and walked to the computer. After smoking two cigarettes, he whispered softly, "An Zecheng, An Zecheng, no matter if you are a dragon or a worm, I don't count on you anymore."
Yes, Lao Li had a plan in mind a long time ago, but he had not made up his mind yet, and this incident with the Coders Association sounded a wake-up call for him.
Although his side had the advantage and won the game, they still had to cede territory and pay compensation. Lao Li felt aggrieved, so he replayed the plan in his mind and prepared to start planning.
…
On the garrison headquarters side.
Tan Hengqiang waved his hand and said to Chief of Staff Zhang: "I don't need to communicate with Kang Dinghuang anymore. You can talk to them about the rest. I don't want to be involved in the Coders Association anymore."
"Kang Dinghuang means that even though we lost, we can't give up completely." Staff Officer Zhang held his chin and replied, "Isn't Yang Dong still here? He will definitely be kicked out. We can use this to set up a coder branch and start a new business!"
Tan Hengqiang was no longer interested in this matter. He just nodded expressionlessly: "You can contact them. You can handle the details."
"Okay!" Staff Officer Zhang nodded. "Ming Chao and the others have been released. Ouyang Zhen just called me. Lao Li wants compensation according to the maximum compensation for military casualties, plus an additional 2 million yuan for resettlement."
"Okay, let's do this." Tan Hengqiang didn't need this little money at all. The reason why he insisted on taking it was just a matter of face.
The two finished chatting.
Staff Officer Zhang left and met with Yang Dong alone in the headquarters. After the two talked for a long time, they reached a consensus.
Yang Dong will take the backbone members of the Coders Association in his section, as well as those who were previously recruited by Zhang Ming, and completely set up their own business and leave the Coders Association.
The reason is that the Coders' Association has been infiltrated by politics and is no longer pure. It can no longer make decisions for its grassroots members, so they want to establish an ideal association, continue to develop, and strive to build an organization that speaks for the people.
In fact, these reasons are bullshit. The reason why Kang Dinghuang instructed Yang Dong to set up his own company is that he did not want to completely give up the association's organization. If you ignore Yang Dong and his gang, it means you have to watch Lao Li grow bigger in this field, which is purely stupid behavior.
Being unable to compete and being at a disadvantage are all acceptable and objective factors, but completely ignoring them would go against the original intention of establishing the Tsing Yi Bureau.
Although Yang Dong's side is very weak and can only mobilize people from one district at most, with the existence of such an organization, Lao Li's Coders Association cannot fully represent the opinions of the grassroots.
For Yang Dong himself, he actually had no choice in this matter. Since he had already decided to stand on the side of the garrison, he could only go down this path until the end.
That night, Yang Dong gathered his core members and announced the establishment of the Dock Workers' Union. According to statistics, the total number of members was about 5,000.
…
The other end.
Gui Mengjun took Su Miaomiao and Dabai back home together.
In the living room of the Gui family, almost all of Gui Mengjun's direct relatives and friends of the same generation were present. After seeing Su Miaomiao, everyone was very enthusiastic and kept talking to her.
After Gui Mengjun settled the two of them, he immediately went upstairs and knocked on the study door.
"Come in!" Old Master Gui shouted.
Gui Mengjun pushed the door open and said to his father with a smile, "People are here, let's go downstairs and have a meal!"
Old Master Gui took off his reading glasses and looked at Gui Mengjun: "Are you forcing me to abdicate?!"
Gui Mengjun paused for a moment, then replied with a smile: "You are right, I want to force the emperor to abdicate!"
at the same time.
Su Tianyu met with his second brother Tianbei at a food stall in Tianhong Port.
"What do you mean?" Su Tianbei asked.
"Put aside the arms business for now." Su Tianyu ate the skewers and said simply, "Go to the Coders Association!"
"Ah?" Su Tianbei was a little surprised: "Why?"
"We need to have our own people there." Su Tianyu replied: "When they go there, they will be the top management of the General Association, the kind that has the final say."
"Haha." Su Tianbei grinned: "Who's going? Kong Zhenghui and Zhou Tonghui will definitely go too, right?"
"You are wrong. Neither of them is going." Su Tianyu shook his head: "Anyway, you should prepare yourself. In the next few days, Gu Baishun will clean up the General Association first. Once he has laid the groundwork, you can join in!"
"Okay!" Su Tianbei replied with a smile, "It's also good to go to the Coders Association! I just feel that I am a little restricted here at the Tongji Club...!"
